The Line in the sand - Part 4

 

The Pope of the Roman Catholic Church has passed on. The first Jesuit Pope. At eighty-eight years old, it seems natural for someone to die seeming in good health just before then. Allah gives life and Allah takes life and, indeed, Allah knows best.

The line in the sand dictates that Muslims stick firmly to this line and avoid the deviating lines which has a satan at its head. So, what is deviation? What will save you? It is time to unlearn old things and learn the true knowledge. The world landscape is changing but Muslims have been dragged in so deep into this mischievous system, that is hard to see right from wrong. Muslims applaud other Muslims who have reached senior positions in many fields across the globe and spectrum. The applause many times because of blinkers. Career, title and position are important – or so you have been taught. Society, duped over generations, laud your achievements. Yet, here we are, a weak and divided ummah. So why have you studied and what are you contributing? Shall we join the dots and see that your achievements join the dots of the miscreants instead of breaking them? How did our education system – globally – come about? Is our education designed to suit those that have designs to oppress us? Are we currently oppressed? What is your understanding of oppression? There is work to be done to join the dots. Time is running out though, for you to save yourself and your family from the fire. At least, let us die on true eemaan and may we leave pristine Islam as our legacy to your offspring.

As for saying “rest in peace”, then that is not something that a Muslim says. What we say is that Allah shower the deceased with His mercy and grant him/her entrance into paradise. Who is eligible for paradise? It is in our speech and action that we follow Prophet Muhammad ﷺ  as our teacher and example. Doing this is part of the rectification of ourselves and inclining to the obedience to Allah and His messenger, Muhammad ﷺ. The bottom line is that our education and what flows from it, must be for the sake of Allah. Allah is the Provider, Nourisher and Sustainer and upon Him we depend. Let not the wealth be a rope around our necks, rather let it be our wings to paradise. The doctor or his medication does not cure, Allah cures. Hence let our dependence be on Allah and medicine only be the means. Shall I stop for now? Follow Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and earn the love of Allah and who better to love you than Allah. Peace will descend upon you. Following other than this path will invite stress, fear and much misguidance. Every deviation from the straight path has a satan at its head. And deception is a key tool of satan.

Reflect. Unlearn and relearn. My aim is merely to remind and create some awareness. You must learn from reputable sources. Be constantly aware of that line in the sand that you stay on the path of guidance. Pray for me as I pray for you. I will endeavour to touch on the end times in another post at another time, if there is interest in-sha-Allah.
